One of my long standing complaints about new products at Trader Joe’s is that they tend to be carb heavy. But there is a substantial enough audience for good tasting low carb alternatives that have been all but ignore up until recently.
The Latest Trader Joe’s Reviews
Trader Joe’s Spicy Pumpkin Curry
For far too long, I’ve heard many a comment (including my own written thoughts) about Trader Joe’s not selling their curry sauces in a jar. Yes, I know there is a Masala sauce on shelves, but it is no where close to the sauce on the frozen entrees.
Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Brooklyn Babka
Babka. I’m not going to lie to anyone when I say that the Chocolate Brooklyn Babka might be a staple in my household. But it do debate whether it is meant for breakfast or dessert because I’ve consumed it at both times of day. Sometimes twice a day.
Trader Joe’s Cacio E Pepe Ravioli
So in addition to the usual fall flavors of maple and pumpkin, we now have 2 cacio e pepe varieties on shelves: the frozen spaghetti and now this refrigerated ravioli.
Trader Joe’s Citronella Candle
While summer may be over, I find that I actually spend more time outside during the Fall. For me, New York humidity makes it so hard to sit outside. And yes, some days are pretty unbearable.
Trader Joe’s Fiochetti with Pink Sauce
Since this blog was started back in 2016, I’ve posted more than 1200 recipes or items. Which means there is a bit of a food memory here. And somewhere back in 2016 there used to be a somewhat similar product on store shelves. It was Trader Joe’s Prosciutto Perline pasta. It was the same pouch…
Trader Joe’s Organic Watermelon Jerky
As we close in on the last days of summer, there was a product that reminded me of summer on a recent trip to Albany. And what road trip wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Trader Joe’s? When your travel is restricted, you make the best of it.
Trader Joe’s Spaghetti Cacio E Pepe
When Trader Joe’s puts out a product, sometimes they make it a theme. Now there are two Cacio E Pepe products on shelves: this frozen spaghetti and the refrigerated ravioli.
Trader Joe’s Shampoo Bar
It’s September and I’m getting back in the swing of things. New routines, new beginnings, and the beginning of my favorite time of year at Trader Joe’s: Holiday Season. While the pumpkin/fall items aren’t slated to land until the 7th (although some are starting to…hello pumpkin empanadas), I’ve finally got a chance to catch up…
Trader Joe’s Walnut Pesto
When I think of pesto, I tend to think green. But technically a pesto is really just a paste. Or at least a series of ingredients that has been broken down into a paste. So this container didn’t exactly jump out at me at first.
Trader Joe’s All Natural Heirloom Whole Chicken
So every now and again I like to pick up an item that seemingly no one is talking about. This is a product I had to do a bit more research into to see if there is a bit of a difference. From everything I’ve put together, most commercial chicken are raised quite quickly. Heirloom…
Trader Joe’s Sparkling Black Tea with Peach Juice
If I had one drug of choice it would be Diet Coke. To me there is nothing quite like the carbonation and the artificial sweetness that doesn’t make me go, “yuck.” Is it healthy for me? Probably not, but we all have our vices. But in truth, my vice probably is really carbonation.
Trader Joe’s Strawberry Lemon Sugar Scrub
In a time where things are as far from normal as they can get, sometimes a spa day is therapeutic. Maybe because the spa and the nail salon have been closed for months and the simple act of looking in the mirror makes you feel like you are a member of the movie Castaway. Wilsooooooon!
Trader Joe’s Mini Hold the Cone Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cones
There are some products that Trader Joe’s can do no wrong with. So many of them are in the dessert section too. Their macarons are solid, the key lime pie is just hitting shelves as is the seasonal macaron aux framboises, and don’t forget about Trader Joe’s Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches live up to their…
